Approved Defense Logistics Management Standards Change 1456

Confirmation of Supply Discrepancy Report Cancellations with Reply 

Code 143

1. ORIGINATING SERVICE/AGENCY AND POC INFORMATION: 

a. Technical POC: Felicia Payton, United States Air Force, AJW-L340, 

Felicia.Payton@us.af.mil, 703-693-5040. 

b. Functional POC: Ben Breen, Defense Enterprise Data Standards Office (DEDSO), 

Benjamin.Breen@dla.mil, 614-692-2317. 

2. REASON FOR CHANGE: Significant changes after staffing the approved change are in 

green shade.

a. Bottom Line Up-Front: This change requires action activities to respond with 

Supply Discrepancy Report (SDR) Reply Code 143 (acknowledgement of cancellation) when a 

cancellation notice (01) for a Document Type 6 or 7 SDR is received from the submitter. 

b. Background: The Air Force Security Assistance Cooperation (AFSAC) team 

requested that a mandatory Reply Code 143 be required in the SDR process, acknowledging that 

a record has been cancelled by the submitter. AFSAC uses a SDR system called SDR-A which 

requires the Reply Code 143 to systematically close the SDR in SDR-A. The lack of Reply Code 

143 acknowledgements requires manual intervention and confirmation that the action activity 

received the SDR cancellation. 

3. CHANGE IN DETAIL: 

a. Technical Details: When a cancellation notice (01) is submitted for a Document 

Type 6 or 7 SDR, action activities will respond back with SDR Reply Code 143 

(acknowledgement of cancellation) to the submitter.

b. Revised Transaction Flow: Document Type 6 or 7 SDRs cancelled by the submitter 

will now receive an SDR Reply Code 143 acknowledging the cancellation. 

4. IMPLEMENTATION TARGET: DLA has stated that full implementation of this change 

will occur once Warehouse Management System (WMS) is completely fielded. 

5. TECHNICAL IMPACT: 

a. Additions or Changes to Data Elements: None identified. 

b. Automated Information Systems (AIS): At a minimum, the following SDR systems 

must make updates as outlined in this change: Product Deficiency Reporting and Evaluation 

Program (PDREP), General Service Administration Vision, DLA Distribution Standard System 

(DSS), DLA Enterprise Business System (EBS), and DLA Warehouse Management System

a previously reported SDR is not valid or appropriate for any reason and should be 

withdrawn, an SDR cancellation must be prepared to cancel the original. The ILCO via 

the DoD WebSDR will forward to all parties that received the original submission. Cite 

the original report number and the WebSDR-assigned control number when known. Do 

not duplicate detail information from the original report except as indicated in the DLMS 

IC. Provide POC information. A brief narrative description of the reason for 

cancellation should be included.

Report. When a cancellation notice (01) is submitted for a Document Type 6 or 7 

SDR, action activities will respond back with SDR Reply Code 143 

(acknowledgement of cancellation) to the submitter. If the action point does not 

provide a Reply Code 143 in response to the cancellation after 45 days, the 

submitter will follow up via email and escalate the issue to Component SDR PRC 

primary or alternate representative for resolution.
